SubExtractor converts subtitles from DVDs and PGS (Bluray .sup) files into Advanced Substation Alpha (ASS) or SRT text format using a simple OCR. Extract subs from (non-encrypted, on hard drive) DVDs and convert to Advanced Substation Alpha format. It can also convert sup (PGS) and sub/idx formats to same. "I wrote this because I hate the blocky, too-high-on-the-screen look of regular DVD subtitles and wanted to re-encode my DVD collection in h264/aac/assa in an mkv container." Might require DGIndex, VLC, Aegisub.

The best subtitle ripper by a mile.
Forget about the rest with the horrible I&l mistakes, this one does the job as it should be.

Excellent subtitle extractor.
So much more clever than the abandoned subrip.

Still has some problems detecting combinations with parts of "i" though.

I've been using this program for about three month now and love it.

I'm frequently editing movies to remove bad language so I can let my son watch them, and this cuts time and effort finding them down to almost nothing.

This program does a great job of converting the extracted subtitles file into a text file that I can then to a keyword search on to find the approximate time the bad language appears.
